Futon vs Rain Cloud

FutonSherwin-WilliamsvsRain CloudSherwin-WilliamsΔE 52.9 — Very different colors

Futon and Rain Cloud come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Futon belongs to the beige family and Rain Cloud to the blue-grey family. The 68-point LRV gap — 80 for Futon vs 11 for Rain Cloud — means Futon will open up a space more effectively. Where Futon leans warm, Rain Cloud reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 52.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
